- Abstract
"Conservatism is one of the key political concepts in understanding the social dynamics of Turkey from the past to the present. It is possible to suggest that conservative sensibility has existed in Turkey in parallel with historical modernization efforts. However, no serious political literature was available in Turkey until 2000s, considering conservatism as a political identity. Various researches have come to fore in Turkey during the last decade as AK Party (Justice and Development Party) has based its main political identity on conservative democracy in the year 2004. This study begins with offering a definition of the conceptual principles of conservatism. At the next stage, the policies of AK Party within the last decade will be elaborated by means of the recent researches; and the political identity and discourse of the Party will be analyzed. Eventually, this study will suggest to what extent these policies are consistent with conservative values.
